Overview

The ABB FB Series FB2F12 tin-plated copper flexible braid connector is a high-conductivity grounding solution designed for industrial and electrical applications requiring reliable current transfer and vibration resistance. Constructed from 99.9% pure copper strands with a tin plating finish, this connector resists corrosion and oxidation while maintaining low contact resistance over time. The 460,800 circular mil area provides a current-carrying capacity suitable for grounding systems in switchgear, motor control centers, transformers, and other heavy-duty electrical equipment. Key specifications include a 9/16-inch bolt hole size, 12-inch length, 1.5-inch width, and 0.4-inch thickness. The two-hole mounting pads feature 0.56-inch diameter holes with 1.75-inch center-to-center spacing, allowing secure attachment to grounding busbars or equipment frames using standard hardware. The flexible braid design accommodates misalignment and thermal expansion, reducing stress on connection points during operational cycles. This connector is engineered for use in harsh environments where mechanical movement, vibration, or thermal cycling could compromise rigid connections. Typical applications include industrial machinery grounding, electrical panel bonding, and renewable energy systems where consistent conductivity and durability are critical. The tin plating enhances solderability and provides additional protection against environmental contaminants. Manufacturer: ABB - Installation Products | SKU: FB2F12 | UNSPSC: 39121465.
